"The '22ers -- Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall -- played key roles in the 17-3 win, none more than Hall, who glided the snow-covered field like a slalom skier. He ran for 178 yards, still his career high. The four players were big reasons why Rodgers wanted to play for the Jets, why the Jets felt as if they were on the cusp of something special, on the cusp of ending the longest playoff drought in major North American sports."
"FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- There was so much optimism in the New York Jets' locker room that wintry afternoon in New England -- the final game of the 2023 regular season. With one win, they vanquished an old bully and celebrated their future. It was a messy year for the Jets, who stumbled to 7-10 after Aaron Rodgers' season-ending injury in Week 1, but they ended a 15-game losing streak to the New England Patriots in Bill Belichick's last game as coach."
There was widespread optimism after the Jets ended a 15-game losing streak to the Patriots in the final game of the 2023 regular season. The victory felt like a turning point because Aaron Rodgers was recovering from a torn Achilles and was expected to be healthy by spring. The 2022 draft class — Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall — delivered standout performances, with Hall rushing for a career-high 178 yards. That optimism faded as the Jets went 7-19 after the Patriots game and proceeded to replace their coach, general manager and quarterback.
